Just one lonely Xbox Live Arcade title has been announced for next week: Discs of Tron (400 Microsoft Points). You're probably having déjà vu at this point -- that's because this will actually be the second Tron game to hit XBLA.
While Discs of Tron may be nostalgic and enticing for some, tweaked audio and visuals aren't nearly enough to make me want to play this "arcade classic."
But should you be looking forward to Discs of Tron, you may be pleased to know that Backbone Entertainment included co-op and versus modes -- something that wasn't available in the original version of the game.
Who knows, maybe another Live Arcade game will be announced for next Wednesday (it's happened before). If not, things are looking mighty bleak for Topher.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I'm just saying it sucks that we have all of these great games lined up for XBLA, but we're getting old arcade games instead.
Don't get me wrong, back in the day I thought Tron was the shiz. But after playing it on XBLA, I realized that as time marched on, my taste in gaming has matured.
Its the same way as, say, after you graduate from college Kraft macaroni and cheese with tuna tastes like ass.
